MUST SEE MOVIES FROM THE FILM FANATIC!!! September 26, 2008 Here's some more shit you can rent on a cold fall night! BEST IN SHOW - One of the most hilarious films ever made. If you love dogs, or hate them, this one's a winner! THE THIN RED LINE - One of the best war films ever made - period. ONE HOUR PHOTO - Creepy movie starring Robin Williams. HANNAH AND HER SISTERS - My personal favorite of the Woody Allen oeuvre. Michael Caine, Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey, Dianne Wiest and Carrie Fisher all shine in this well written slice of life. LEAVING NORMAL - Before there was the inferior Thelma and Louise, Christine Lahti and Meg Tilly starred in this girl-gone-wild road trip. Very entertaining and with more heart! ROGER DODGER - Campbell Scott is perfect in this awesome flick! This ladies man takes on the challenge to teach his nephew about being a man, and Jennifer Beals may help him get there. Fascinating shit! THE WAR AT HOME - I am a long time fan of Emilio Estevez and this was his best directed film until BOBBY came along. Both films worth checking out! Kathy Bates is always a wonder to behold! THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU - This cute and clever romantic comedy stars Joseph Fiennes and Monica Potter. SUMMER OF SAM - My personal favorite Spike Lee Joint! John Leguizamo, Mira Sorvino and Adrian Brody head the cast of this true story of the 1977 New York murder spree that caused panic in the city for months! THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN - I'm not into westerns but this one entertained me a whole wild bunch! COOL HAND LUKE - The Paul Newman classic deserves another viewing soon. TAXI DRIVER - I never really got this movie until I saw it again recently. A young Jodie Foster and Robert Deniro stuggle to survive in the big city. November 2,2008 OLD SCHOOL - One of the funnier comedies in recent years. PROOF - One of Russell Crowe's first films and also starring Hugo Weaving, this movie explores the fragility of trust. STREETWISE - An intense, moving documentary about youth growing up on the streets. NO WAY HOME - Tim Roth leads an outstanding cast in this heartbreaking film about the life of an ex-con. THE VIRGIN SUICIDES - Sofia Coppola proves to be a much better Director than an actor! Kirsten Dunst, James Woods, and Kathleen Turner star in this disturbing drama. MONSTER - Oscar winner Charlize Theron knocked this one out of the park, playing an abused lesbian serial killer. Nice! CLUB DREAD - A horror spoof by the Broken Lizard's comedy troop that keeps the laughs comin'! MUTE WITNESS - A suspenseful horror flick that proves making a horror film can be murder! IN AMERICA - A spectacular film about loss and its repercussions. WAITING FOR GUFFMAN - A hilarious comedy from Christopher Guest and the rest of his friend geniuses. When a town of talentless nobodies attempt to put on a big production, hilarity ensues. OPEN WATER - Suspense and terror envelop a couple left out at sea after a scuba diving excursion. Tense! LOST IN TRANSLATION - Sofia Coppola's crowning jewel! The lonely Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansen befriend each other in Tokyo, Japan. Splendid! May 7, 2009 SHAUN OF THE DEAD - It sure is hard to make ammends with the people you love when all the dead people in town are returning to the living to eat everyone up. Way funny flick written by the lead actor, Simon Pegg. Don't miss "Hot Fuzz" either! FEVER PITCH - The 1997 original starring Colin Firth. A baseball movie with a lot of heart. Jason introduced me to it. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I loved it. Still have yet to see the remake with Jimmy and Drew cause I love the original so much. GARDEN STATE - Zach Braff has just made his exit from "Scrubs" to hopefully focus on writing more gems like this! The funeral singer is reason alone to see it! God bless her! FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - Another football movie? Hells Yeah! Billy Bob Thornton coaches the heroic Texas high school team. Little Caleb (Lucas Black) from tv's "American Gothic" is all growns up and in top form. Hut! Hut! Hike! THE UPSIDE OF ANGER - This awesome dramedy stars the impeccable Joan Allen, and that wacky guy who built a baseball field in his corn. Well written, well executed and often hilarious, this one's a keeper! HOUSE OF WAX - Ah, Paris Hilton! And this is just the beginning of her bright film career. For those of you who love her...Enjoy! For those of you who hate her...Enjoy seeing her get spiked in the head! Genuinely creepy villians and super hot special effects! (For other Paris classics, check out - "The Hottie and the Nottie" and "Repo: The Genetic Opera." Now that's...entertainment! SWIMMING UPSTREAM - Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis and Jesse Spencer play a troubled family in this true story of an Australian swimmer. Born to a bastard father, the swimmer strives to become a champion to win his father's love. Break out the tissues! SIDEWAYS - Crack open the California wine, sit back and see the return of Virginia Madsen (nominated for an Oscar) and Lowell!! from "Wings" (nominated for an Oscar) and don't forget Paul Giamatti! Great ensemble cast! Glug Glug Glug! PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED - It's one of the only good movies Francis Ford Coppola made after his "Godfather" masterpiece. Perhaps his last great movie. Kathleen Turner's best work ever! Transport back in time on a magical trip! DEAD END - A favorite in this household, and a dang good Christmas treat for the whole family. This raunchy, dark-humored horror movie was recommended to me by Nancy, and I shall be forever grateful. Ray Wise and Lin Shaye lead this trip thru hell. "Dashing thru the snow..." MISCHIEF - Am I the only person on earth who loves this 80's sex comedy? Maybe.
